I don't want to take anything away from the OP or from the work T3 is doing. I like the lower ball joint idea and I know CMS has been trying to find those for a long time.
I had some front caster/camber plates made by Ground Control, they didn't have them and still don't list them on their site, but the made several when they made ours. I'm not sure what the max camber or caster setting would be and/or if they'd fit on cartridges besides Koni.
Here's just a picture or two:

I am going to call ground control and see if they can do a bearing size that will fit me teins.
I wanted t3 to do them since they would do it cheaper, but sometimes time is worth more than a discount.
Here is the mono pin they used. I have not fully given up on them. I imagine we won't hear anything about this again for another month and half since they put us behind bigger orders. I asked them if they scrapped us, if they would at least sell the pin so we could make our own brackets.

what I meant by spacer was extended ball joint, sorry. If they bail on the project, I have access to a CNC machine so I can get some stuff made. Either the mono pin(never really seen one of these before), extended ball joint(might be pricey) or a press in heim and machined fastener with the correct taper. If you go the heim route, your RC can be adjusted in a wide range depending on the size of the fastener or until you hit your rim. Similar to this:

Looks like t3 is cutting their losses with the 5th gen chassis. I know they stil have 20 of these in stock, but it looks like they won't be making new stuff. So that might be the end of the extended ball joint option. Unless we can find a place that can make the bracket that would house the mono ball pin. I suppose t3 might pick up if their parts started selling, but until then I don't imagine they will.

That sucks, but is understandable. I'm curious what the sales rates of some of the other uncommon chassis they support vs ours is.

Well there's the problem. They can't complain about low sales for a product that wasn't advertised.
if the forums specific to the chassis are not enough, why bother advertising. there are 3 people who have spent some money there. all 3 of them are in this thread. all 3 of them have posted everywhere. i see no reason for them to spend anymore time making parts for the 3 of us. now if other people ordered some things....
remember, money talks. no money = no r and d = no parts being made
support the people that take the time to support us.
